Violent Soho have gone from self-releasing their debut in their native Australia to signing to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label, home to Be Your Own Pet, Free Kitten, Awesome Color and other freak-rockers. Ecstatic Peace! step out of their usual modus operandi with Violent Soho to release it on new UK imprint Defacto through Island/Universal.
They are the most visceral, mushroom-munchin', bong-tokin' slacker guitar foursome to be punishing their amps in a long time and have impressed rawk royalty wherever they park their van.
They played for Rick Rubin at his Malibu Condo. Thurston Moore was at the front at their first NY show at Lower East Side hang out Pianos. And passing the grunge baton on a generation their album was produced by ThePixies/Foo Fighters/Distillers producer Gil Norton at his Rockfields studio in the Welsh countryside (in between playing darts on Black Sabbath's favourite dartboard).
This limited edition 7" with the buzz-saw energy of 'Bombs Over Broadway' and 'Son Of Sam' is a noisy introduction to their long-haired punk.
Bombs Over Broadway can be downloaded for free by signing up to the band's mailing list here:
